F10 Tpms/rdc

One of my tire pressure sensors broke and now the sensor light is on on the dash. Can I just get rid of this dash light by pulling just the fuse??

Your local discount tire can probably install a new sensor for less than $100 out the door...

You can just code it out. One of my sensors was just damaged after I had my wheels powdercoated. I'm going to get it coded out for free until I feel like getting a new one. You can get one for $40 brand new on eBay it's not an expensive fix.

No you cant pull fuse out it wont work
you must replace sensor if you enjoy driving your car in sport mode
If TMPS sensor is not functioning properly your car wont stay in sport mode.

My wife's lexus tpms sensor went dead and bought a new on Amazon. Brought it to discount tires to have it installed and coded for only $10. They got it done within 15 minutes or less. No balancing required. A good tech would only deflate the tires and break enough of the bead to uninstall and install the sensor.
